*EASY* Please allow Arch objects to be numerically rotated around Y axis #3333

Trying to align arches along an angled driveway is very diificult. xLights allows Y rotation of other objects but not Arches. This would also greatly help with created "dome" shapes using concentric arches.

Please allow rotation for arch objects along the Y axis.

Thank you for your hard work!! Screenshot_20220518-233613_Dropbox

The arch can be put at any angle you like... it works by setting the blue and green square. Click on the green end or blue end in the UI and then pull the axis arrows... or adjust in the property grid.. Igloo .

You can also do a straight Y rotation graphically.

  1. Cluck the orange box in the middle of the arch until the rotate handle shows
  2. Drag the green rotate handle to rotate the arch on Y axis Igloo2

I should have been more specific. Yes I'm aware of these methods, but they are tedious. Other objects allow a numerical entry for axis rotation around all 3 axis. For the dome shape above it would be nice to be able to just type in 30 degrees, then copy and do one at 60 degrees, etc.

I love it when a user tells us what should be easy. There’s a reason there is no rotation parameters care to guess why? The answer is easy.
